They are conspiring with the orcas and bringing the attacks to land (from the air).

Eagles and whales, our species is fucked if they get the emus next.

[–] fenrasulfr@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They have allready spread to Germany.

How many emus are in Germany?

[–] Wrufieotnak@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

2020 there were at least 247 emu-adjacent birds (nandu/rhea), after some intervention. The highest counted was 2018 with 566.

I love the compoface in the thumbnail like he's hoping to put in a claim to EaglesRus or something

[–] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I wonder if eagles are smart enough to like consciously target humans, I know some birds can do that
